How are you dealing with this crazy heatwave? In terms of skincare, it's important to keep the skin hydrated with lightweight, hydrating products. When it comes to makeup, the lighter the better in my opinion. I usually prefer extra dewy finish but in sommer when it's super hot, something a bit more matte is what I enjoy.

With that in mind, the new foundation from Clinique called CliniqueFIT Workout Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 40 seems like a perfect match! ;D

 

 

 

 

Clinique has launched a new concealer, the Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer and that's what I call, for me, a heavy duty concealer because it's nicely pigmented but it feels lightweight, so that's something I enjoy using when I need more coverage. It covers everything but doesn't look heavy.

 

Today I wanted to show you 2 mascaras I've been loving at the moment. A main reason why I love both: they're budge-proof and last all day without smudging, transferring or crumbling. If it rains and you get water in the eyes, it's not a problem either. One of them gives crazy volume (Dior Pump'n'Volume) while the other define the lashes perfectly (Clinique Flutter-to-Full).

Did you know a new Chubby Stick had joined the iconic Chubby Stick family of Clinique? And it's all about glossy lips with the new Chubby Plump & Shine Liquid Lip Plumping Gloss!

Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion has been a holy grail for me for a few years now and I was worried when I saw that it was discontinued and replaced by a new product last fall. Worried is maybe not the most appropriate word here, I should rather say that I panicked because as I said, the Mild lotion was a product I love and adore and I was really worried to see it replaced by a new lotion: Clinique Clarifying Lotion Twice A Day Exfoliator 1.0.

Hi there,

Last month I had the chance to attend Clinique's presentation of their new Pep-Start products in Zürich. First it was awesome to discover the newly launched Clinique products and secondly it was also amazing to be able to meet some of my favorite Swiss bloggers (Accusedoflipsticking, VanessaBratschi, Kissandmakeupbeautyblog, Undnochvielsmehr, Sarahrita81,  Heypretty).

Hi there,

It's still summer and incredibly hot here so sunscreen is absolutely mandatory!

I personally prefer mineral sunscreens and I find it not so easy to find sunscreens that I actually like wearing all year round. That's why I decided to do a short article about my favorite mineral sunscreens.


Something that happened to me a few days ago also made me want to write another article about sun protection because what happened shocked me like it is not possible!
So the other day, I went to the drugstore to have a look at some of their mineral sunscreens and didn't find anything that I really liked. Then the sale assistant told me (when I told her I didn't find what I was looking for) that I should basically educate my skin to become more resistant to the sun, i.e. go out in the sun everday without sunscreen and try to tolerate the sun each time a bit longer to get used to it. Then she continued and said that instead of sunscreen if I don't like wearing them I could take some tomtato pills because there is lycopene in them that are antioxidant. Honestly I was shocked because she kept saying a bunch of nonsense! The only way to protect you from the sun is to wear sunscreen, avoid the sun and wear anti-UV clothes. Of course, antioxidants are great but they're not enough to protect your skin from sun exposure.
